Re: Oscar Contest 2023

Tomorrow!

Due to the Best of the Year article being a little later than usual, we pushed back the Oscar contest. Most players wait until the last week to enter every year, and the winner is almost always someone who does so. This year everybody gets to wait until the last week! :lol:

Re: Moana

Don't they usually record the voices before most of the animation? Or is the computer animation different?

Re: Avatar Netflix Live Action Series!

I finished it. Better than I expected but not as good as I'd hoped. Felt rushed since they skipped so much. But they definitely got the feel of the original down. I think it's a fun watch for those familiar with the cartoon. But newcomers should skip this and watch the original

Re: The Fairly OddParents

When I told my daughter about this news (she was a big fan of the show when she was a child) her response was: "They need to let fairly oddparents die 😭 theyve already beat the poor thing to death"!

Re: Avatar Netflix Live Action Series!

I've watched the first three episodes so far. Episode 1 was a little heavy handed with exposition. The cartoon trusted kids to figure out what was going on more that this episode did! Editing was a little weird too. By the end it had got its footing and hooked me in. Episode 2 was great. Exactly wha...

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Quote from one of the reviews: "I almost admire the sheer lack of effort on display in the acting, storytelling, and set pieces. To say that Johnson in particular phoned this performance in would be an insult to Alexander Graham Bell."

Re: Goodbye Noggin

The Noggin television channel started up right around the time my first child was born. It was a staple in our house for years. It transitioned to an online only service a few years ago. Sad to hear it's going away completely.

This all could be just Disney playing nice with theatres after a few years of upsetting them.

Re: James Gunn's Live action Road Runner Film!

To be fair, three of them saw a version of it: "Zaslav never saw the movie at all. De Luca and Abdy saw a 'director’s cut,' and Damaschke saw the first audience preview."

Re: 96th Oscar Nominations

Nope. They just announced it's going wide this May ! What's amazing about this film is that they were going to have Cartoon Saloon do the animation but when they pulled out because of Covid, the filmmakers created a single-use "pop-up" animation studio from scratch! More about that here: https://www...
